Feint of Honor

A Feint of Honor was an ancient rite that allowed two dragons (or two parties of dragons each represented by a leading figure) to settle a dispute without the need for mortal combat.[1] All dragonkind followed the code that allows for this kind of ritual combat, regardless of their alignment.[2]

The rite consisted of a battle between two dragons, each with one or more witnesses who did not take part, until one was subdued or surrendered, at which point the feint was concluded. The use of breath weapons and magic during the combat was forbidden.[1] Dragons were bound by their honor to adhere to the terms and the outcome of the feint.[3]
